We were invited to dinner with Bishop Camillo, the Roman catholic Bishop and it was interesting to hear at first hand hopes and plans for their new church which will be built with an underground carpark. We sat at the same table as the Bishop and architect who are understandably proud of the plans and they hope to complete construction within three years. It was good to meet up with Sudipta, who was a name I had in my address book on arriving in Bahrain nearly four years ago, and who plays in the Public Security Band and I was able to have a word with the conductor about the possibility of them playing in the Cathedral Concerts programme later in the year. |
